    摘要: System for controlling voltage supply to a portion of a distribution grid. The portion of the grid including a substation providing one or more transformers operable to increase or decrease the voltage supplied to consumers within the portion of the grid. The voltage control system includes: a data set including a previously measured power consumption associated with previously measured values of a property(ies) being one of voltage, current, frequency or load, or a combination thereof, a measuring device to measure the property(ies) within the portion of the grid, a processing device to determine a most likely effect of altering the value(s) of the property(ies) from a first value to a second value, a storage device for storing one or more rules associating a trigger event with a response action associated with the substation, and a control device to receive a measurement of the property(ies) within the portion of the grid.

    摘要: Apparatuses, systems, and methods of apportioning an aggregate maneuver are disclosed. An aggregation engine receives aggregation opportunity information requesting an aggregate change in power of one or more sites. The aggregation engine transmits participation opportunity information to a plurality of site controllers. The participation opportunity information indicates a site benefit for providing a site change in power. The aggregation engine receives commitment information from the plurality of site controllers, the commitment information indicating levels of commitment of the plurality of site controllers to contribute site change in power to a target change in power of the aggregation opportunity. The aggregation engine further transmits updated participation opportunity information including an adjusted proposed site benefit or adjusted proposed site change in power until an aggregate change in power of the one or more sites is within a threshold level of the target change in power.
